As he thought about this, Will took a step back and retreated from these people. He had already witnessed that Jessica, who claimed to have loved him, was merely a gold digger. Now that she had encountered someone better-looking and richer than him, she immediately ignored Will and fixed her gaze on Toby, wishing nothing more than to be with Toby. Unfortunately, she was unaware that Toby was most disgusted by women like her.
Thus, Will wanted to see how Toby and Sonia would punish her.
After shovingjessica aside, Sonia retreated to Toby's side. Toby took her hand and held it close to his eyes as he carefully checked her paw.
A puzzled Sonia then asked, “What's wrong?”
“Let me check whether your hand is injured.” Toby turned her hand over.
She laughed. “How could it be injured?” There isn’t any knife or anything similar that could have hurt me either.
Sonia was ready to withdraw her hand when Toby grabbed her hand and refused to let go of it. “Don't move!
Even if you're not hurt, you still need to clean it. You just touched something dirty, so there will be germs.”
With that, he pulled out the decorative handkerchief from his left breast pocket and wiped her hand.
She was amused by his action, but didn’t pull her hand away and merely allowed him to do it instead.
As for Jessica, who was still on the ground, she was so angry that her nails dug deep into the flesh of her palms. She was so furious because the man had actually said that she was dirty and filled with germs! When Will heard that, he almost broke into a loud laughter. Sure enough, he knew that she would be punished by Toby and Sonia.
“Excuse me, sir.”
Jessica took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart before the corners of her mouth squeezed downward to indicate her faux sadness as she looked at Toby. “How can you say that? My sister pushed me to the ground. Not only did you not speak up for me, you suggested that I have germs instead. You’ve gone overboard—” “Who are you to me?” Toby finished wiping Sonia's hand and released it while he coldly spoke to Jessica.
With an undisguised disgust in his voice, he continued, “Why should I speak up for you?”
“I...” Jessica choked and was suddenly unable to speak as her face paled before it reddened. Soon after, she calmed down. As she covered her bruised arm, she stood up from the ground and bowed her head to say, “I know that I have no relationship with you, sir. However, even a stranger would also step forward to speak for the victim in the face of such a situation. Thus, you shouldn’t defend my sister just because you are together with her.”
A speechless Toby was stunned. What the hell is this woman talking about ? Sonia is my woman, so who should I defend if not her? This woman is really mentally afflicted!
With that thought, Toby pursed his lips and icily replied, “Your sister is my woman. What’s wrong with me defending her?”
His words caused Sonia’s head to shoot up as she looked at him. “You
“What's wrong?” He turned to look at her, his expression and voice
becoming gentle all of a sudden.
